OpenProject is a powerful and flexible open source project management tool that can help teams manage complex projects. If you're using OpenBSD, you can easily install OpenProject and start managing your projects in no time. Here is a step-by-step tutorial to help you install and configure OpenProject on OpenBSD.
Before you can install OpenProject, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
OpenProject requires several packages, including a database server, a web server, and related libraries. To install these packages, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add postgresql-server postgresql-client apache-httpd mod_passenger ruby ruby-bundler
This will download and install all the required packages and their dependencies.
OpenProject uses PostgreSQL as the default database server. To configure PostgreSQL, run the following commands:
sudo su - _postgresql
initdb -D /var/postgresql/data
rcctl enable postgresql
rcctl start postgresql
createuser -d -P openproject
createdb -O openproject openproject_production
exit
This will create a new PostgreSQL user and a new database for OpenProject.
To install OpenProject, run the following commands:
sudo pkg_add ruby-openproject
sudo su - _openproject
cd /var/www/htdocs
openproject configure
Follow the prompts to configure your OpenProject installation. You'll need to provide your database configuration details, such as the database username and password, as well as the web server configuration details, such as the virtual host name.
OpenProject runs on the Apache web server using the Passenger module. To configure Apache and Passenger, run the following commands:
sudo su -
echo 'LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/libexec/apache24/mod_passenger.so' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
echo 'PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/passenger-6.0.9' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
echo 'PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
echo 'Alias /openproject /var/www/htdocs/openproject/public' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
echo '<Directory /var/www/htdocs/openproject/public>' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
echo ' AllowOverride all' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
echo ' Options -MultiViews' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
echo ' Require all granted' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
echo '</Directory>' >> /etc/apache24/httpd.conf
rcctl enable apache24
rcctl start apache24
This will enable the Passenger module in Apache and configure the OpenProject directory as a virtual host.
Once you've completed the installation and configuration, you can access OpenProject by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://your-server-name-or-ip-address/openproject
Replace "your-server-name-or-ip-address" with the IP address or domain name of your OpenBSD server. You should see the OpenProject login page, where you can log in with the administrator account you created during the configuration process.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed OpenProject on OpenBSD. You can now start using it to manage your projects.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
